There’s a new card game in town for cat lovers and we can’t get enough of it.

From the makers of Do You Look Like Your Dog? comes a feline version of the memory game.

Do You Look Like Your Cat? launches today (October 12) and it’s perfect for a spot of family fun.

Don’t just take our word for it, though. It appears some pet lovers have got their hands on the new game already and have said it’s the “cat’s whiskers”!

How do you play the new cat card game?

Featuring photographs by Gerrard Gethings, the “fun new game” features 50 photographs of cats and their lookalike owners.

All you have to do is take a quick look, commit them to memory, turn the cards over and pair them up.

The most pairs at the end wins!

“Why do people look like their cats?” the blurb asks.

“Is it shared personality traits, barely suppressed narcissistic tendencies, or do they grow together over time like old married couples?”

Pretty Daphne, a Seal-point Birman, matches with her hoody-clad owner Leila.

Our favourite, though, is Arthur, an Exotic Longhair cat.

He’s the spitting image of his rocker owner Gunther!
